Adrien POV

The girls leave to go eat and I stare at Jax as he dissociates.

I could be nicer about this but...

I slap him across the face bringing him back to reality.

"Why the hell would you do that?!", he snaps.

"Oh great.", I smile. "You're back."

He rubs his red cheek and fixates his eyes on me.

"The girls are at the food court eating, Arielle and Eve ran off.", I tell him.

"Good. I don't want to see or think about her ever again. She can leave after this week and never talk to me.", he locks his jaw.

"You don't mean that.", I chuckle.

"Yeah I do.", he says with dead eyes.

"Calm down, Jax.", I raise a brow.

"Don't tell me to fucking calm down!", he flips a desk. "Why did she come back now of all times?! Hurting me once wasn't enough?"

"Don't worry about her, you have Iris now, Iris is better for you.", I breathe. "You love her remember?"

The sparkle in his eyes comes back.

"Iris.", he mutters. "How is she taking this?"

"She's fine.", I tell him. "She doesn't like Eve, but that's to be expected."

He runs out to go find her.

Jax really isn't taking this well.. was this how I acted when my mother came back?

My phone rings and I look at the name on the screen.

Speak of the devil.

"Hello.", I answer.

"A-Adrien.", she starts. "How are you dear?"

This is odd.

"I'm fine.", I respond. "Is there something you wanted?"

"Oh.", she sighs. "I just wanted to call and check on you. How was your day?"

"Not the best.", I reply. "Can I call you back another time?"

"Of course.", she says before hanging up.

That was weird.

I should go visit her when they discharge her from the hospital.

Iris POV

Lana and I are throwing the trash from our food away when I see Jax walking towards me.

"Gotta go.", Lana says before zooming off.

"Hey.", I smile at him.

"Hey.", he grins.

"So.. Eve is really pretty.", I mutter.

"Not as pretty as you, flower.", he replies before planting a kiss on my lips.

We walk back to the dorm and I start to get comfortable in the bed.

When we lay back he starts asking me questions about my birthday.

"What do you think you want to do?", he questions.

"I don't know.", I respond. "Maybe a surprise party."

"It wouldn't be a surprise if you knew about it, flower.", he laughs.

God I love his laugh.

"By the time June comes around I will have forgotten all about this conversation.", I chuckle.

His phone dings and he looks at it before his body stiffens.

"What's wrong, Daddy?", I ask.

"Nothing.", he tells me. "I'll be right be back."

He runs out the door.

That was suspicious.

I wait for nearly an hour before going out to the hallway to look around for him.

I spot him talking in a corner to someone, and then he hugs them.

When he starts to walk away I see their face.

Eve!?!

What the hell?
